Its not.
PAPER LoTW
Application Fee $7 $5
Per QSO fee $0.20 $0.16
Certificate+postage $12 $12
Sticker+postage $1 $1
Pin+postage $7 $7
Ex: 6m VUCC certificate w/100 grids
$39 $33
BEFORE LoTW, the cost was $10 (Certificate + Pin)
and any endorsement was $10 (Sticker)
PLUS the cost of QSL-ing, of course.
You decide.
Also, remember that someone who wouldn't QSL even w/SASE or, in some cases
with a card they simply had to sign and drop in the mail box, may not upload to
LoTW either.
